[Verse 1]
My momma would hear bombs drop
Two blocks away from her rooftop
Waiting for the day to change
She didn't get a lot to say
Oh, they took her voice away
Mo'fuckers
We the new generation
We be running this nation
No time for graduation
She'd be living in frustration
At night she'd go to sleep
They'd be lurking in the streets
Won't let them achieve
Separating our beliefs
We the new generation
We be running this nation
We the new generation

[Verse 2]
Daddy would hear gunshots
Two blocks away from his rooftop
Waiting for the day to change
She didn't get a lot to say
Oh, they took his voice away
Mo'fuckers
We the new generation
We be running this nation
He used to dream of creations
Flag it up for his dedication
[Verse 3]
Nowadays I hear bombs drop
I'm surrounded by gunshots
Now we sit in this empty space
Which way are we willing to leave our trace
We the new generation
We be running this nation
We the new generation
My people saw their world stop
Two blocks away from their rooftop
Waiting for the days to change
We don't get a lot to say
They try'na take our voice away

[Verse 4]
My momma would hear bombs drop
Two blocks away from her rooftop
She didn't get a lot to say
Oh, they took her voice away
Mo'fuckers
We the new generation
We be running this nation
No time for graduation
She'd be living in frustration
At night she'd go to sleep
They'd be lurking in the streets
Won't let them achieve
Separating our beliefs
We the new generation
We be running this nation
We the new generation
Mo'fuckers
